Welcome!
I am Leigh Clausen (she/her)
a yoga teacher in the beautiful Flathead Valley in Northwest Montana
I teach classes at local fitness centers and studios, as well as at yoga conferences and festivals, and other areas around the valley, outdoors in the summers, and I take bookings to teach private group classes for weddings and other special events. You can also book a vacation in my cozy rental yurt just 10 minutes from Glacier National Park’s west entrance, and enjoy private yoga sessions on-site!
I have a podcast called Love Leigh Moments, and some short YouTube practices available free of charge.

Testimonials
“Leigh was one of my first teachers when I began practicing yoga 15 months ago and I can honestly say she was instrumental in the development of my practice and why I still practice today. She always provides words of encouragement before, during, and after her classes. No matter the level of the class, she always suggests adjustments to make poses more accessible or more challenging. Leigh also changes up the sequences and poses in her classes regularly, if not each class, which is extremely refreshing. Her excitement for yoga, the encouragement she provides, the diversity of her classes, and her big heart are many of the reasons why Leigh is one of, if not my favorite yoga teacher in the Valley.”
- Link G.
"You have a wonderful and gentle way of leading a group of students which always makes everyone, from very proficient to first timers, feel welcome and productive. You obviously enjoy what you are doing and it is contagious. I have to miss classes for a couple of months and I miss your warm smile nearly as much as the yoga. Of the many teachers I have had with an almost daily practice, most of whom are very good teachers, yours are the classes I enjoy and look forward to the most."
- Betsy M.
"Since the beginning of my practice with Leigh, I feel stronger in my postures and more connected in my breath movement. Her alignment cues are descriptive and easy to follow, allowing for proper alignment during each class. Leigh’s consistency from class to class has vastly improved my at-home practice as well. I highly recommend practicing yoga with Leigh. Her balanced energy and light-hearted spirit is inspiring for students of all ages and abilities."
- Jasmine B.
"For the past year and a half I have been attending gentle yoga with Leigh. She is a natural teacher, easy to follow and encouraging. No class is the same, but I leave all classes feeling relaxed and ready for whatever the day brings. She has a warm smile and a soothing voice that I often replay in my head if I struggle with sleep! Her “brow massages” are the best!"
